No. 5 L'Eau is a new take on N°5. A bright abstract floral fragrance with a modern and fresh leitmotif. No. 5 L'Eau celebrates simplicity and embodies flawlessness, down to minimalism in packaging design. The embossed cardboard box bears the silhouette of the famous bottle. Inside, in another box, a bottle of crystal transparency. No details of the lid, no mechanisms disturb the impression of clear transparency. It is as if the refined simplicity of the external design retreats before the internal content and leaves a free field for the imagination of the one who chooses this fragrance for her skin.
Less abstract than previous versions, No. 5 L'Eau radiates a citrus fragrance, reminiscent of sun-warmed honey. Top notes of lemon, mandarin and orange shoot up, carried away by aldehydes. In the rich heart of the fragrance, the rustle of flowers is heard. Rose blends with airy jasmine and modern as ever fractionated ylang ylang. Following a floral swirl, vetiver and cedar give the bouquet a new dynamism, softened by notes of white musk. Never before has N°5 been so natural. And so fresh.
How to wear No. 5 L'Eau? Completely free, without prejudice. Intuitive, simple, redundant. Day and evening. For myself. For all. No ritual! No. 5 L'Eau can be worn permanently.
